A novel plate design for rotational guided growth. An experimental study in immature porcine femurs

Our latest research is now published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research titled "A novel plate design for rotational guided growth: An experimental study in immature porcine femurs."
 
Guided growth for correction of rotational deformities has been reported in several preclinical and clinical studies. Different adverse effects, like growth retardation, articular deformities, and rebound effect have been reported.
 
This study explores a novel plate design (RotOs Plate™) for the correction of rotational deformities in immature bones. 
 
This large animal study shows promising results for the feasibility of the method.
It is an important first step in validating the technique and detecting possible adverse effects before clinical studies.
